Football Club Dordrecht, based in Dordrecht, Netherlands, currently play in the Eerste Divisie and trace their origins to 16 August 1883, the date the club began life as Dordrechtsche Cricket Club, later Dordrechtse Football Club. Founded in 1883, the club has a long local presence and today appears in curated Walkouts selections for signed shirts and framed displays that appeal to regional and international supporters.
The professional branch separated in 1972 and the team evolved through names including DS '79 and SVV/Dordrecht'90 before returning to FC Dordrecht in 1994. Home fixtures have been staged at the Stadion Krommedijk, popularly known under its sponsored name Matchoholic Stadion, a ground that was substantially renovated in 1998-99 and seats 4,235 spectators.
Dordrecht are notable cup competitors with Two KNVB Cup wins to their name, and while much of the club’s history is rooted in the Eerste Divisie, collectors prize shirts connected to cup runs and the club’s episodic Eredivisie appearances. Proper nouns tied to the club include Stadion Krommedijk, Matchoholic Stadion and SVV/Dordrecht'90, all useful provenance markers when evaluating a signed shirt.
Anniversary releases remain a natural focal point for collectors, particularly milestone editions issued around major dates. The club’s centenary produced commemorative merchandise, and examples labelled as Centenary 1983 are often chased for their limited runs and historical ties, providing a clear provenance link to the club’s long history.
Season and match memorabilia also drive demand, notably shirts connected to transitional years such as the post-merger 1991-92 season and the stadium works era around the 1998-99 season. Shirts from those seasons capture distinct crests and sponsors, and items worn or signed during KNVB Cup runs are especially desirable for the narrative they carry.
Away shirts and alternative colourways are a specific collecting niche. Examples described by vendors as white with blue trim and associated with cup ties or decisive away results are frequently listed as match-issued or signed variants. Signed retail shirts from the fanshop, early production runs and player-issue variants are all collected, and many Walkouts entries include provenance notes and a COA to confirm authenticity.
When choosing a signed FC Dordrecht shirt, provenance details such as a photo of signing, a match ticket, or a reference to the Matchoholic Stadion dressing room add value to the story. Collectors and fans target items tied to the 1991-92 season and the 1998-99 season, and Walkouts listings often surface framed or signed fanshop editions and match-issued shirts that connect directly to those campaigns.
